Rando HD Mini Car DVR Video Camera Recorder 2-inch LCD w/ HDMI Cable built-in Microphone

Rando HD Mini Car DVR Video Camera Recorder 2-inch LCD w/ HDMI Cable built-in MicrophoneJust recieved the camera today. There are 3 resolutions, 1080p, 720p and native(i think thats what its called) i took videos on all 3 but i cant really tell the difference.

Took it for a stroll during the day. I think the reflection of my radar detector & car made most of everything out of focus, i will need to retest this again and hopefully, it would be clearer.

The so called "Night Mode" is BS. They just added 2 super bright LEDs and it doesnt really do much of anything. On well lite roads, it records pretty well, but on dark roads, u can only see what ur headlights are shining, its not bad though. Wide Angle? It doesnt look to wide to me.

As for most ppl ask, i actually saw license plates better at night than day. Need to be at least 1-2 car lengths to read the plates clearly though. Not sure if theres a way to make it clearer.

watching it on screen also shows this pixalated video, but im watching it no a 27" monitor was i cant blame the camera.

Overall, i like it, though i think my iPhone4 with the same megapixel can probably record a lot better...

I received a package with the camera very quickly in less than a week.

For comparison, a colleague of mine got the same camera from another seller about a month.

For its price the camera is very good clear images during day, and night is quite acceptable.

At the highest resolution of the video is approximately 95mb/min.

Mounting the camera on the windshield is very reliable.

The only negative the complexity of placing the camera behind the rearview mirror on a jeep.

PS. Jelly watch to trash!

Buy Rando HD Mini Car DVR Video Camera Recorder 2-inch LCD w/ HDMI Cable built-in Microphone Now

I bought this camera to keep me covered legal wise while I was on the job driving. It works fine but it doesnt want to stay on. Out of no where, it will turn itself off for no reason. It also freezes up and stops recording for no reason. That results in me having to constantly take my eyes off the road and make sure it is still recording. This is a cheap product. I suggest spending a little more money and buying something more reliable.

The camera worked for about two days then the micro video card stopped working so I got another video card and the same thing happened. For some reason the cards will not work at all now. I had to return the camera. Camera was returned and money was refunded.

This car cam works great, even after it slipped from my hand and dove straight into my large cup of orange juice I had in the car. After a good drying off in front of a space heater, I'm completely amazed it still works, 2 months later. Initially it took about a month before it arrived in the mail (coming from Hong Kong) and required a signature, which were not ideal, but I'm thrilled with the product. The camera records in 2-minute segments and saves them as separate files. An 8GB mini SD card (separate purchase) holds about 7 hours' worth of driving, then the camera starts overwriting what's there until it says it's full. You don't want to get stuck with a long commute and a full card, so just buy 2 of them. Also, the cards get lost easily because they're so tiny. I've already captured several near-miss roadway incidents, which are exciting to watch later on.

Husky Liners Classic Style Custom Fit Molded Front Floor Liner for Select Dodge/Chrysler Models (Bl

Husky Liners Classic Style Custom Fit Molded Front Floor Liner for Select Dodge/Chrysler ModelsNot as stout as weathertech mats, but a great value. I would buy these again. The fit was excellent.

UPDATE;

These mats have been in the car since 2009 and its 2013 now. They still fit pretty well, but have shrunken and don't fit the contours quite as perfectly as they did new. No big deal IMO, and I still give them a hearty recommendation.

Just flat out awesome! Great material, perfect fit, comfortable on the feet, easy to remove/install for cleaning. Live in Washington state and always outdoors. Shoes/boots/cleats are never clean. Now my car doesn't have to be a mess! When gatorade or water spills...I'm protected!

Schumacher SE-125A Automatic / Manual Battery Charger with Engine Start

Schumacher SE-125A Automatic / Manual Battery Charger with Engine StartI've owned this charger for 5 years. It has a "manual" function, meaning that you can charge a battery past the normal 80% that the automatic chargers will. It means you can also charge one more quickly because the automatic function (also on this unit) of most chargers tapers off the amperage sent to the charger as it reaches 80% of charge. (15 amps also goes faster than ten.) Manual means you can also "condition" a battery to get the sulfites off of the plates, by carefully charging and watching to the point where the battery plates begin to gas off. Means a battery will take and maintain a better charge and last longer. I use it on the RV cabin battery for this, but also use it regularly just for car stuff.

All this and it does what other chargers do. 2 amp trickle charge, high powered capacitor starting function.

I DROVE OVER THIS CHARGER WITH A 5000 POUND 1986 LTD CROWN VICTORIA TODAY! FLAT as a pancake. Ahem, well. First plugged it in and promptly blew the garage circuit breaker. Immediately started hunting for other Schumacher chargers on the net. After spending two hours and seeing this particular unit is now over $100 new, thought "Well, let's see if I somehow tear it apart and look." No sooner got the mangled housing off, and (uuuhhh!!) bent the back upright (which had a circuit board on it), plugged it in, and it works!! And, in the course of bending back the heavy steel housing, NO paint flaked off. Must be baked-on enamel. These babies are built tough. As another reviewer for Schumacher chargers said, "No repackaged imported junk".

I take my hat off to this company: features, durability (!), quality........ wow.

This is, IMHO, a well made battery charger. Works well! (Even with the quirks noted below).

The Good:

1) Has manual and auto modes and therefore will charge a completely dead battery. (Some , if not most, automatic only chargers need a couple volts to prove correct hookup and will not begin charging on a fully dead battery).

2) Heavy duty metal case.

3) Plenty of charging options including 6 volt for, perhaps, charging a single golf cart battery as found in RV and scooter apps as well.

4) Has "OFF" setting on rotary dial. Useful if using the 125 Amp start setting which has recommended max 5 sec duration per instructions.

5) Charges 12 volt batteries very, very well. (Have not tested on 6 volt)

The BAD:

1) Has poor rotary switch layout. Requires (most of the time) when switching to off or from 2A to 15A setting to cycle through the 125amp setting. This causes unnecessary stress on the battery and the charger. To avoid this one must unplug when changing setting.

2) Poorly written instructions regarding the use of the rotary switch vs the slide switch. Inst manual is generic for many of their chargers and not specific for this model.

3) Amp gauge on front of charger does not read in amps, but % of battery charge. Great for girls and girly guys, but not for the guys who have lawn tractors, boats, ATV's, etc. and really want to know what is going on at a glance.

4) Feet are molded from the metal case and do not have protective rubber pads to prevent marring and skiding.

The "who cares":

1) Has green LED which lights when battery is fully charged in 15 amp automatic mode. Does not work in 2 amp mode where it might actually be useful.

Buy Schumacher SE-125A Automatic / Manual Battery Charger with Engine Start Now

I had an older Schumacher that only had a 50 amp emergency boost, which was inadequate for most emergencies, so when that disappeared, I bought this SE-125A. I left it on the 2 amp charger setting for awhile on my Porsche's 12v battery while it was still connected in the car. It fully charged it and as stated in the owner's manual, when set on the 2 amp charge, the green light will not light when the battery is fully charged. The 15 amp, 12v automatic setting will turn on the green light when the battery is charged, but I wouldn't leave it like this for too long. I looked at the meter and the green light was lit, then the charger would stop charging with the meter falling off to the right. At the same time the green light would shut off, but then the meter would swing back to the left (charging again) and the green light would go on. This cycle took about 5 seconds to complete. After watching this happen many times over a period of 2 minutes, I unplugged it, feeling that can't be good for the Schumacher's longevity. It does the job and the price is right. The cord attached to the unit is relatively short, so you'll need a high quality 3-pronged extension cord if you want to use this charger while the battery is still connected in your vehicle.

I've owned this about two years and its worked flawlessly. Its been used to keep three vehicles, three tractors, and two lawn mowers going through all the Minnesota seasons. I like the fact that it has an "off" setting. Its been very versatile and holds up well to fairly rough treatment. Would definitely buy again.

EDIT 5/27/11:

Very shortly after writing this glowing review, my unit seems to have died. I needed to jump a battery and pulled out the charger and let it charge for the normal amount of time. But battery was still dead. Repeated this process a few times and decided it wasn't the battery, must be something wrong with the truck, which is admittedly fairly old. Then noticed I wasn't getting a decent spark when i touched the positive and negative connectors together. Pulled out very old and frail charger that was nearly junked when I bought this Schumacher and it charged up the battery just fine. Upon further review, it appears that my Schumacher charger works only when in Manual setting, and does nothing when in automatic. I expect this sort of product to last more than two years.

Want Schumacher SE-125A Automatic / Manual Battery Charger with Engine Start Discount?

I already knew what I was getting, and I was right. Great charger.

It has both auto, and manual settings, and what I like the best is the 15 amp charge, along with being able to use the manual settings rather than Auto.

The 125 amp engine start is a nice bonus to this charger, and will start a car that has a battery thats not completely gone.

But if the battery is totally dead, this 125 amp start probably wont help.

With a "completely dead" battery, you'll need more than 125 amps, that this charger/starter delivers.

You'd need something closer to 400 CCA (cold cranking amps).

The 125 amps will help most vehicles start, when there's still some charge left in the battery, (but just not enough to start your vehicle).

I had an older charger, with a "Engine Start" feature, but it was only 50 amps, so pretty much useless. It was a much cheaper charger, and half the weight of this one.

Update:

I was just about to use this charger, and am glad I didn't.

It has a large bolt rattling around inside the charger.

I then started the replacement request, and Amazon quickly made it right.

As soon as I un-boxed this charger, I closely inspected it, then plugged it in, and tested it. It works great. Very happy customer!

Clore JNC300XL 'Jump-N-Carry' 900 Peak Amp Ultraportable 12-Volt Jump Starter with Light

Clore JNC300XL 'Jump-N-Carry' 900 Peak Amp Ultraportable 12-Volt Jump Starter with LightWe purchased the JNC300XL about a year ago to power a camera system we were developing for a truck. We needed 12Vdc vehicle power while in the lab and in the field for testing off the vehicle. It charges quickly, holds a charge for months and is light and compact. Last summer my wife called to say she was first in a left turn lane on a busy expressway and her car stalled and would not start. I grabbed to JNC300XL where it had set for months without a charge and off I went. I connected it to her battery and it provided plenty of power to turn over her fair sized V6 engine and start the car. The nice thing is it was a quick hook up. I wasn't in the middle of a busy road trying to get my car close enough to her car to string a couple of jumper cables. It is great for powering gadgets that normally plug into a cigarette lighter for power. You unplug the "flashlight" on the front of the unit to access the cigarette lighter plug. As with all batteries it should be charged every several months to keep the batteries from becoming un-chargeable. Since it is a sealed spill proof lead-acid battery like a car battery it does not have a memory nor will it be damaged by being topped off once in a while. It will die if left discharged for a long period. The manual can be found at

I already had a JNC 660 for my truck and wanted to put smaller units in each of our cars. I bought 3 of these, then 2 more for Christmas gifts. They are easy to use and much more dependable than the cheap imports with lots of whistles and bells.... I prefer the larger unit for my dodge 1500 with a V-8 (I've jumped it 5 or 6 times between charges without a problem... electrical trouble...) This smaller unit is great for our Toyota 4 cylinder cars and Chrysler Concorde with a 3.5 6 cylinder. These beat the heck out of jumper cables, and my daughter and wife don't have to ask strangers for help... or wait for AAA.

Changing my 1-star review to 3-stars. I purchased this unit but it wouldn't start my 1997 Land Rover Discovery V8 -at least not by following the standard directions. I spent over an hour with it over two days trying to start the car but it simply wouldn't turn over. This said, I was able to start the car using jumper cables connected to another vehicle, and AAA was able to start the V8 with a similar but larger portable unit. I finally called Clore Automotive Technical Support at (800) 328-2921. First off, they were super nice. They suggested that the JNC300XL may or may not work with a V8 truck, that a larger unit might be required, especially if the truck battery were completely dead. AAA had been out several days earlier, tested the Land Rover battery, so I knew it was OK, it was just low.

The Clore technician asked how I was connecting the unit. I said I followed the instructions, connecting the red lead to the red battery terminal and connecting the black lead to a non-moving metal engine part. He said, "There's your problem. You should connect both cables directly to the battery. They tell you not to do this in the directions, to avoid sparks, but it's what you need to do." I tried it and the Land Rover started instantly. So, it works and looks like this unit can save me in a pinch. I will keep it in my car from now on. I only wish the instructions included this extra bit of information, or what to do if the car fails to start following the standard instructions. If you have any issues, I'd recommend calling Clore Support.

GREAT PRODUCT! for the price.

I spent 2-3 hours on-line looking for what I needed. A Battery Jumper: 1) not too much money, 2)would help me start my car immediately...This accomplished both needs. This is the cheapest, most reliant item. Ignore the Black&Decker item. I read too many bad reviews.

I used this one 5 times (within 2 months) before I took my car into the shop to correct the REAL problem ---My real problem: I bought a cheap replacement battery.

This item saved me from having my Auto Club telling me, "SORRY, YOU HAVE CALLED US TOO MANY TIMES".

Want Clore JNC300XL 'Jump-N-Carry' 900 Peak Amp Ultraportable 12-Volt Jump Starter with Light Discount?

I wish all cars had auto shut-off feature so that it turns off the headlights and all electronics (except for door lock), so that if you forget to turn these off and remove the key, it wouldn't be sucking power off of your car's battery. My Mercedes would turn off the headlights and all electronics but my Honda would not. Having been spoiled by the Mercedes, I often forget to turn off the headlights and interior lights on my Honda, resulting in a dead battery.

Since I bought this jump starter, fortunately I didn't have to use it because I never ran into a situation. But just yesterday, I had someone walk up to me as I was proceeding to get into my car, asking if I had a jumper cable. I told him I had more than just a jumper cable and handed him this jump starter. Five minutes later, the guy came back very happy and told me that it worked on the first attempt.

Even though I had charged it almost 3 months ago, it worked on the first attempt which is reassuring. I didn't want to write a review of this product until I had tested it and now I am doing it because I do think this is a great product and can save you a lot of hassle. Please make sure to take it out to fully charge it every 3-4 months so you don't end up with a dead battery AND a dead starter.

***Update 09/04/2011***

Just to give you update, I have been using this product for more than a year now. I only had to charge it once. Its internal battery is just amazing if you're only using this for a quick jump-start every once in a while. I have used it at least more than a dozen times and it has always worked flawlessly. I last charged it several months ago and it still shows that the internal battery has enough juice to go on (two green LEDs).

Even after using it for more than a year, I am still raving about it. This purchase was well worth it and it has saved me a lot of time since I bought it.

Whistler XTR-430 Radar/Laser Detector with Red Text Display

Whistler XTR-430 Radar/Laser Detector with Red Text Display
  • Radar/Laser detector provides 360-degree alerts for radar and laser signals, POP mode alerts, Safety Warning System alerts
  • Patented VG-2 cloaking technology makes you invisible to radar detector detectors
  • Brilliant red text display provides distinct visual confirmation of signals detected, signal strength, and indicates engaged modes of operation
  • 3 City Modes and Highway Mode for reducing false alerts; Dim/Dark and Quiet/Auto-Quiet modes
  • One-year warranty

I finally decided to purchase a radar detector after receiving many speeding tickets over the years. After looking at many different models, I chose this one for it's high rating and affordable price. I wanted to wait a while to review the product to make sure it was a fair review. I've had it for about a month and a half and so far it has been wonderful. The very first day it saved me from a speed trap where the cop was hidden behind some large bushes. It has consistently alerted me when there is a radar detector in use. It came with all the required parts (dc plug and suction cup mount) so it was ready to use without purchasing additional parts. My only regret is that I didn't buy this sooner!

I have finally found the right radar detector, after researching many others. Don't be fooled into thinking only the pricey, high end detectors work well. I found they were so ultra sensitive that they beeped at everything. It was impossible to know what was a false alarm, or a real radar alert. THIS UNIT IS ALL YOU NEED. It's easy to program, goes off when it should, has minimal false alerts, and is well priced. I am so pleased with the XTR-430 that I am buying a second one for my husband, who has had his older model Whistler for 8 years. When you find a reliable product, stick with it!

it works. many features my old one didn't have. haven't been caught yet, but i don't speed much either. pay attention you may not much time after it alerts.

Upgraded from a Bel 880 I had for 10+ years. This has everything that one was missing.

Volume control, 360 degree protection, all the bands we need and a not so annoying tone for alerts.

Good price and value. Would definitely purchase again.

Top Post Battery Master Disconnect Switch

Top Post Battery Master Disconnect SwitchAs I worked on an old car, I kept removing and reconnecting the negative battery cable. I bought this switch to allow me to quickly and easily disconnect without having to use tools again and again. The price seemed right and I figured that it was a straightforward design, so quality couldn't matter too much. However, I was disappointed when I tried to install the switch. The post on the switch designed to mount the battery cable is smaller in diameter than a standard battery post. As such, I cannot tighten the battery cable onto it. The switch's post has a hole in it so one COULD mount a battery cable with flat ends (eye terminals), but there is no way for me to use this as designed with the existing standard battery cable. MAYBE newer battery cables have more adjustability and might work with this, but it is not like my car has an odd sized cable, it is just old. I haven't yet decided how to address this issue, but at a minimum, the switch is not usable out of the box by me for my car.

I have tried two of these. The one marketed by Gama, and the Morosso. Actually they were identical. Pathetic, and made in the U.S. Even has a little American flag in the thumbwheel. The first one lasted 6 months. The second, 10 days. On both of them, the male lug was too small of diameter for negative battery clamp to securely clamp. With the second one, the Morosso, I went out and bought a different ground cable with a clamp that was small enough to securely clamp. I figured I had the problem solved. WRONG!! Twenty minutes of running on my diesel tractor, I noticed the glow plug light on. I opened the hood, and sure enough, the switch had broken in the identical spot the first one did. I would not recommend or buy another one of this design. It looks pretty stout, but looks can be deceiving.

Bought this for my 2002 Audi TT cute car, but it sucks the life out of batteries in a matter of days if it's not driven. I use a battery tender at home, but when I leave the car elsewhere for more than a night I'm resigned to needing a jump. AAA has always been pleasant about it, but that's not my idea of fun, as much as I travel. So Master Disconnect Switch to the rescue! The instructions were clear and precise, it took all of 3 minutes to install.

It fit perfectly on my top mount battery, I had none of the issues mentioned in other reviews. Just a twist cuts the power completely.

Couldn't be more pleased!!

Husky Liners Custom Fit Front and Second Seat Floor Liner Set for Select Toyota Prius Models (Grey)

Husky Liners Custom Fit Front and Second Seat Floor Liner Set for Select Toyota Prius ModelsThey fit absolutely perfectly in my 2010 Prius II. It literally couldn't fit any more perfectly. I like the color, and the rear covers a all of the area and has a nice lip on it so it catches snow and mud really well. They are a bit expensive, but I'm very pleased with how they look and fit.

Unbelievably nice! I LOVE these mats. They don't have the leaky holes that the Weathertech mats have, they look nicer, they're a darker grey, and the lip goes up higher. I am thrilled with these mats. I was also worried that they'd feel like a 'hard' plastic under my feet, or that my heel would slide easily on them; neither is an issue at all. My wife and I are both thrilled with these mats.

For about a dozen pics (in a Silver/grey 2011 Prius), see here:

Buy Husky Liners Custom Fit Front and Second Seat Floor Liner Set for Select Toyota Prius Models (Grey) Now

I purchased these directly from Husky and was very disappointed. I bought two front liners for my FJ Cruiser.

First problem was quality. For $90 you expect something substantive, these things are made of plastic about as thick as (2) gallon milk jugs sandwiched together. This is a problem where the lip of the liners (designed to keep liquids pooling in them) is close to the doors of the car, where you get in and out. After only trying them a few days, you can see where the cheap quality would lead to bending and damage in this area.

Second and biggest problem is that in the FJ Cruiser they attach to the floor with hooks built into the floor. FJ has a plastic floor, so if you don't latch them, they slide. The holes in the liners were too small and when I forced them over the hooks, the plastic got bent around the edges of the holes, damaging them and meaning the hooks didn't secure them properly. It wasn't hard to see where after some use, they would not have stayed hooked whatsoever. This is a serious design flaw. A little effort on Husky's part could have fixed this, they only had to cut the right size hole and add a grommet around the edges of it. Lazy.

The liners fit perfectly, but that seems a moot point, given their serious flaws and cost.

Husky made me pay to ship them back. Very bad business, considering they didn't work out because of cheap design efforts on their part. The customer service rep told me I had to pay to send them back, that why should they, since they gave me free shipping. Normally I might accept that, but once you see these things, you'll realize they cost all of $1 or $2 to manufacture, making free shipping inclusive in a $90 price tag something of a joke.

I bought Weathertech rubber mats to replace these. The Toyota FJ all-weather mats also seem better. Both are cheaper, about half the price.

Husky doesn't deserve business with products like this one. I usually don't write reviews, but between the quality of the product and my service experience, I think others should know before they buy.

I am extremely pleased with this item. They fit perfectly in my 2010 Prius and are very well made. They grip well to carpet and do not slide at all. The price is great, especially considering the similar "Weathertech" item is nearly $170.00. These get the job done for a much more reasonable price. I would highly recommend these as the better value.

Jabra Cruiser Bluetooth Car Kit, Speakerphone-Bulk Packaged

Jabra Cruiser Bluetooth Car Kit, Speakerphone-Bulk PackagedThe product worked as advertised. I was able to set it up in seconds for the blue tooth option. since I don't use the FM radio in my van I did not set up the FM transmitter. I can hear other people just fine and I have not heard anyone say they can't hear me or ask me to repeat myself. Only 1 little glitch after a month of using it. It did disconnect and reconnect once but I think i passed someone else using the same frequency which caused it. The price here was 20% cheaper that Best Buy and it was delivered free. I would recommend this product to all of my friends.

I've been through my share of Bluetooth (BT) headsets so when I found this I was really hoping that the reviews were going to be good and at least 1/2 true. I was and still am blown away with how well this BT Speaker phone works in the car with two different phones. It has an amazing enough battery life the issue ends up being where you put the charger because it doesn't need to be charged very often. Also, the BT connection to my iPhone and then the re-broadcast to the car stereo has been great. A few times when going on a trip or putting the speaker in a rental I've had to switch stations but that was due to local radio stations bleeding through. Only negative that I have on this device is that once it starts talking about a low battery you may as well shut it off because there is no mute, the female voice will say low battery every few minutes until it dies but that is not very often. Great Product, been really happy with it.

I bought the Jabra Cruiser 2 on the recommendation of my friend who owned this version. I was so impressed by the Jabra Cruiser 1 that I figured they couldn't mess things up by improving on the 2. I was poorly mistaken: there are less functions from a bluetooth audio player (AD2P) that the Cruiser 1 had and the quality of the FM transmitter was terrible. The Cruiser 1, on the other hand, seemed flawless and is a much more compact bluetooth receiver. The call quality and the speaker quality are good (haven't really reported any "can't hear you" responses") but the thing I love about this is that it doubles as an FM transmitter for my iPhone (or any bluetooth AD2P capable device). The quality is better than most dedicated FM transmitters I've used in the past (griffin, belkin, you name it) and being able to listen to your calls through your car speakers is much better than through a receiver, especially when you're driving on the highway with all the road noise your car produces. The music portion (AD2P) is my favorite because it offers a play skip reverse set of buttons on this receiver, so no need to look at your phone/player if you want to skip the song or what-not while driving. It helps that they give you an "auto-search" ability, by pressing the volume up button for 5 seconds. And it even auto-shuts off after a period of inactive use, to preserve battery. I LOVE this device

HIGHLY recommend. It's too bad these devices are hard to come by locally.. I hate the 2nd gen. one but I can't return it because i lost the receipt, otherwise I'd pick up ANOTHER cruiser 1 (i already have 2 in my house hold!)

Was very excited to get this unit. Setup was a breeze, and was simply to use. Sound quality thru the car stereo was surprisingly good. Only drawback with FM transmitter was wouldn't tune below 88.1, which most units I have used can which is where all the unused US frequencies are (in other word clear channels so you aren't constantly retuning the channel).

Unfortunately 3 days into using it, the FM transmitter button wouldn't consistently turn the transmitter on or off which is the reason I bought this unit over others. Returned for refund and am shopping for something else.

3000 lb Electric Power Tongue Jack RV Trailer Camper

3000 lb Electric Power Tongue Jack RV Trailer CamperI inspected this jack and I am convinced that this is the same one that Campers World sells. Why is it that "camper stores" mark these products up so high and then at the end of the season when your camper is stored they give you "special" deal that still doesn't compare to the price that non-camper stores sell them for all year? Other reviewers complained about water in the gears and failure after a few years? So they must live East of the Mississippi river where it rains all the time. If you live there, (I do now) you know that everything will rust. So put a cap on it, I mean the jack. When you store the camper put a cover, a plastic coffee can will work, over the top of the jack and check the lubrication when you open the camper in the spring. So every spring when you scrape and repaint your camper frame and try and clean the mold from the top and sides of the camper, check the jack and it will last as long as the camper.

Excellent product, quick and easy to install. The jack works perfectly on my 26ft toy hauler. Just flip the switch and in just a few seconds the trailer is off the truck, and just a few more seconds and it's down level. I recieved the jack in just a few days after ordering it! Great company to do business with!

We all like to shop for true bargains during times of economic hardship such as has evolved in 2010. It is thus, a true blessing for us, to find a product that is exactly as advertised and performs perfectly; for less than half the $ price of the nearest competitor. The PJ3000 is such a product and I'm proud to recommend it to anyone needing a power trailer tongue jack!

I bought this because I have back problems. My trailer has a 800 pound tongue weight and I wanted help getting it disconnected from the truck. If the trailer ball hangs any on the hitch it will stop the motor. Once disconnected from the truck ball it strains to raise it up to level. This would be fine for a trailer tongue of 300 to 400 pounds, but any more puts a very great strain on jack motor. I ran the jack with electric connected to make sure batterys had full power. I do not think there is any way this jack would lift 2000 pounds much less the 3000 pounds that it is listed at. Spend your money on something that will works.

The jack I purchased only worked intermittently. As another reviewer mentioned, the electrical contacts were the problem. I had to take it all apart and re-solder all of the connections. One other suggestion: The grease this thing shipped with was very thick and sticky, more like chewing gum than grease. I scraped it out and replaced it with wheel bearing grease. Now it runs much quieter, smoother, and a bit faster. If you're not handy or don't like getting your hands dirty, I'd pass on this one. I would have returned it but I purchased it in the US and brought it back to Canada; too much hassle.

Car Mate CZ48A Black Solar Powered Ash Tray with LED Light - Pack of 1

Car Mate CZ48A Black Solar Powered Ash Tray with LED Light - Pack of 1I like this ashtray quite a bit. It gets enough sun sitting in the cup holder. The blue LED is not bright enough to distract, but completely adequate for finding it.

My only complaint with the setup of it is that:

1. It holds the cigarette vertically, which results in a stout nicotine stain along the length of the cigarette that effects the taste quite a bit. If it had the slot(s) along the side, the problem would be solved and the ashtray mostly perfect.

2. Only one cigarette slot.

Other than that, I'm pleased and recommend it.

The Car Mate Solar Powered LED Ash Tray is much better than the old hole in the middle one I used before.

I didn't think I needed this but Mrs. B. said it was a must as she was tired of the dirty ash covered old one.

After using it, I am glad she insisted. This one keeps the cigarette ashes inside so I don't have the fan or an

open window blowing ashes from the cover onto the seats and dash.

Looks a heck of a lot nicer in my new truck too.

I like the the addition of the LED light and don't miss my old ashtray at all.

Best of all, the Mrs. is happy.

Good gadget, large size so that you don't have to be cleaning it out so often, good night light so that you don't burn your upholstery.

I'm a return customer, and bought two more for other cars. This is a nice ash can that actually works. I have bought others with lights that did not last very long. The Car mate CZ48A I bought a while back is still working like new. This is an excellent buy.

If you are a smoker and your car doesn't have an ashtray this fits very nicely in the cupholder. It can also be easily carried if you are out of the car, and like me, do not want to litter the ground with cigarette buts.

Generac 5791 iX800 800 Watt 38cc 4-Stroke OHV Gas Powered Portable Inverter Generator

Generac 5791 iX800 800 Watt 38cc 4-Stroke OHV Gas Powered Portable Inverter GeneratorFollow up August 23rd, 2010:

Generac finally replaced my leaking unit. Hours of work on my part. The new unit idles quite different. On normal mode it idles significantly lower and flucuates up and down. In the economy mode, it simply idles even lower. The first unit seemed to idle normal (who knows) or high. In economy mode it flucuated up and down as stated in the manual. The electrical outlets are different. The first unit had commercial 120v outlets one plug vertical, one horizontal. I spent $50 for a commercial extension cord. The new unit has regular (parallel) plugs. Therefore I'll need to buy an adaptor. Unbelievable. If there are any more problems I simply will pay someone who knows what they are doing (Generac's service people do not) or throw the unit out. Stay away from this unit. And stay away from Generac.

June, 2010 Unit was defective out of box. Significant oil leak from engine even when not running. Took to 2 authorized Generac service shops. Still leaks. Leak is where 2 aluminum machine surfaces come together. Still trying to get resolution. Generac customer service fair at best. Takes considerable time to reach a human being. The unit already looks 2 years old due to the handling by the repair people and I've never used it. Generac has still not offered to replace. They "don't make the motors". A great excuse. I will contact Amazon corporate office if necessary to tell them not to sell this company's products and file in small claims court if necessary against Generac. Please consider other manufacturers' if you are looking for a small generator. I may be contacted at nfre at comcast dot net for photos of leak. Thank you.

I bought the generator to use on my boat to occasounally keep the batteries up when camped away from the marina. I was very disappointed in the loud noise level. It is advertised and also marked on the box as "ultra quiet"; well it is as loud as a lawn mower under load, and I wouldn't want to listen to that noise for hours at a time, nor subject that to fellow boaters nearby. I had expected maybe something that wouldn't be a nuissance and may be nearly as quiet as a Honda. No way, this is unacceptable to have to listen to.

I bought this generator to use for charging a battery bank on an RV. I never got it to run for even 10 minutes, when I took it to the factory authorized repair depot they said it had water in the gas, they told Me this before working on it? The tank I fill My equipment with is used on 7 engines none of which had problems. The so called repair I had to pay for and accomplisehed nothing, I still cannot use the generator, and the factory refuses to warranty it. I have two other generators a 6 kw and a 1 kw both constant speed type one of which cost 99 dollars and puts this one to shame. Very poor showing and no warranty beware.

Got this unit for a very low price through Amazon.com. Cranked it up and worked ok. Next day it would not hold voltage. took to authorized dealer. 4 weeks later told me the carborator was dirty and not covered by warranty. male bovineshit! the nit needed adjusting. a warranty charge. but why wait for the manufacture to come up with the payment when you can hit the owner with a $75 "clean carburetor" charge. What a rip off.

Poor repair service. In the 7 months the repair company has had the thing it hasn't been touched. Generac won't approve the repair of a generator that didn't work right out of the box. Worst customer service i have ever seen. DO NOT BUY!!!

  • GTMax the Exclusive Brand of Bargaincell. Only in the United States.
  • 1 X Universal Wrist Strap Lanyard (BlueMall) - Blue

O M G, this is the coolest little thing. It works just fine, picks up the sounds very nicely on my fm station. Very good sound quality. It plays the best on my fm 88.1 station and that works fine for me. Under $10., go figure. Every once in a while, it picks up a little static, I change it's position, and I am good to go. I don't drive a lot. I use it to go to and from work which is about 3 miles, I also use it when I am driving around running errands. I am very pleased with it. I do recommend it. It did not come with instructions, but was too easy to figure out.

Buy Gtmax 3.5mm LED Fm Transmitter Car Kit - All Channels + Wrist Strap Lanyard for Apple iPod touch 5t Now

I purchased this item after considerable research and I decided to "invest :)" in it because it had the features I wanted and the price was ridiculously low. It will work with ANY "source" that has, or can be adapted to, an 1/8" stereo plug. The fact that it can operate on batteries allows it to be used almost anywhere and, of course, it can be used in a vehicle using the supplied car adapter. The best feature is that it can transmit to ANY available frequency in the FM band. (A similar product that I own is limited to 8 possible frequencies.) I am extremely happy with my purchase and I can recommend the product without reservation.

Stopped working within a month. Don't buy it. It's horrible and the sound quality isn't that great either. I suppose you get what you pay for. I recently bought GOgroove FlexSMART X2 ADVANCED Wireless In-Car Bluetooth FM Transmitter Honestly the Best FM Transmitter in the market.
